This document discusses challenges and solutions for ensuring program integrity in LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program). It notes that risk assessments found issues in some sub-grantees and a GAO report prompted changes to LIHEAP policies. To improve verification, the state will check Social Security numbers, conduct wage matches, authenticate vendors, and encourage post-audits. Operational changes include using a system to electronically verify applicant information without human interaction and expanding an electronic system to allow vendor authentication and benefits verification.
